About

Using his violin and effects pedals, Gabriel creates a rich orchestral sound palette ranging from fiery and engaging to mellow and relaxing. He uses his classical compositional upbringing to fuse together traditional folk genres from across the world.

Gabriel was classically trained, studying composition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and graduating from UCLA Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Music Composition. He works in Northern and Southern California as a freelance composer, producer and violinist.
